The Amazing Dee!

Do you remember in my last blog post that I told you Dee L. has stitched lots of lots of With My Needle projects?  So you can get an idea of how many she has stitched, here are two photos she sent me.

In the first photo, you can see Tell Me Ye Knowing, Kind and True, ES's Floral Sampler, Multiplication Table Examplar, Quaker Needlework Box, A Petite Sampling Etui, Hornbook Examplar, Blue House Needle Primer, and Quaker Hornbook.


...but WAIT!  There are still more!!

 Here are her My Favorite Things Stitching Basket, Cherished Workes, A Lady's Worke Box (a class project), Miss Trenner's Needlework Academy, A Is For Apple, Quaker Turtles, Rose Garden Sewing Case, Quaker Pattern Book, Mrs. Waddelow's Huswif, Mrs. Waddelow's Needlework Basket, Busy Bee Sewing Case, Petit Carnet D'Ouvrages-Livre I, Long May She Wave (a class project), Acorn Sampler Sewing Case, Alphabet Samplings Book, Needleworke's Sampler Huswif (a class project), Fruit of the Vine Sampler Huswif (a class project), and Flowers for Lily!!


Were you counting?  There are 28 completed With My Needle projects!!!  (If you only got 27, perhaps you forgot Kindred Spirits (a class project) that I showed you in my last blog post.

I think you will agree, Dee is amazing!!! (I hope this doesn't embarrass her.)  She is a beautiful needleworker and finisher and very prolific.  Whenever you see her, she's wearing a beautiful smile. It is truly always to be a delight to be around Dee. 

Thank you, Dee, for the photos and for your enthusiasm for my designs. I hope to see you again soon. 

(P. S.  Dee has stitched so many WMN  projects that Blogpost won't let me tag them all.)

Wow, that's amazing, I bet they look stunning displayed in Dee's home. It has inspired me to finish all my 'With my Needle' projects, so 'watch this space' as they say.
